Bob Dylan is an American songwriter, singer, artist, and writer. He has influenced music and culture for decades with wide ranging lyrics of political, social, philosophical, and literary words. Bob Dylan has sold more than one hundred records, making him one of the best-selling artists of all time. Over time, Dylan has received numerous awards with the most recent being in 2016 when he received the Nobel Prize in Literature. Dylan has shared with the world countless songs, albums, drawings, and paintings… here’s ten times Bob Dylan has shared inspirational words everyone can relate to:


  1. I define nothing … I take each thing as it is, without prior rules about what it should be.
  2. Behind every beautiful thing, there’s some kind of pain.
  3. Don’t criticize what you can’t understand.
  4. Some people feel the rain, others just get wet.
  5. When you feel in your gut what you are and then dynamically pursue it – don’t back down and don’t give up – then you’re going to mystify a lot of folks.
  6. Act the way you’d like to be and soon you’ll be the way you’d like to act.
  7. Inspiration is hard to come by. You have to take it when you find it.
  8. Take care of all your memories. For you cannot relive them.
  9. I change during the course of a day. I wake and I’m one person, and when I go to sleep for certain I’m somebody else.
  10. You’re going to die. You’re going to be dead. It could be 20 years, it could be tomorrow, anytime. So am I. I mean, we’re just going to be gone. The world’s going to go without us. All right now. You do your job in the face of that, and how seriously you take yourself you decide for yourself.

Bob Dylan's words lead one to believe that no matter what you're doing, be sure you're living. Life can flash by within the blink of an eye and if you aren't being you, "whoever that may be", and giving all you got, that you may lose your chance. Don't let the persuasion of others in the world today try to tell you what you should or shouldn't do. Some days may be tough and sometimes people may come in and out of your life even if you think it's not supposed to happen as it does... but take those instances and start the next day with a greater state of mind. For every day is a learning experience, no matter where you end up.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
